Subject: Cool FOB

Lately, I have been weeding thru the GEMS catalogue of recordings and found this fine Schoeps>PCM FOB....very nicely done by the taper using the finest technology available in 1985. I saw about 25 Dead shows at the Oakland Coliseum and this is a very good example of how the place sounded. Nice perfomance by the boys...they always seemed looser the days leading up to NYE...as Garcia once said, "We always seemed to blow the big ones"....meaning he felt the band played better when expectations were low.

Subject: Excellent Recording

There are some crispy boards of this night but this FOB really captures the vibe. The show is solid and the Mighty Quinn breakout is a happy highlight.

This recording is wonderful and the show, though rough around the edges with a few small derailments and lulls, is really very cool.

...BUT - this has much more of a live feel to it. The sound quality is not as clear as the board. Still, it is very good, and sounds like a concert while the board frankly sounds like a demo or rehearsal studio tape.
